Qingdao has many sculptures sculpted into the coastline parks.  The Sculpture parks are seven in total. They start at the Garden of Sea Billows, and move on to the Garden of the Joyous Sea, the Garden of the Sea Wind, May 4th Square, the Garden of Sea Rhythm and finally the Sculpture Park which boasts the Qingdao Sculpture Park Museum.  They are all located on Dong Hai Lu.

You can reach these sculptures by walking the Qingdao Seaside Sightseeing Pathway or by taking bus 317.  The sculpture garden parks are east of Beach no. 3 starting at The Garden of Sea Billows in the Shi Nan District and ending in the Laoshan District at the Sculpture Park.  The Sculpture Park hosts the Qingdao Sculpture Park Museum.  Keep in mind you will still have many fascinating sculptures located after and before Beach no. 3 and Sculpture Park throughout Qingdao.  To see all the parks by foot along the Sightseeing Pathway is a hike but you can also take the 317 Tourist Bus. Each park listed before has its own characteristic and great views of the ocean and Qingdao coastline. Bring water, a camera and have fun exploring Qingdao Gems.  Below is a list in order of destination from west to east with addresses and their closest bus stops.
